A special thank you

By The Dupuis Family
After surviving what has to be medically the worst year of my entire life, it’s time to recognize and thank some of the people who, through their dedication and professionalism, helped me and my family.
Dr. George DiMov my primary care physician and Dr. Tom Wharton of Exeter Cardiovascular are at the top of my list. My family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts (mine now is beating perfectly by the way).
The nurse “Angels” at Exeter Hospital; Stacy, Linda, Beth, Bret, Lauren, Linda, CNA’s Penny, Katie, and Erica, you are special people and will always be remembered in our family prayers.
A “thank you” goes to Georgia and almost all the staff at Exeter Health Care (one I swear was “nurse Ratchet” incarnate). You guy’s got me through one of the most critical incident during my entire stay at your facility and my family appreciates everything you did for me (except “nurse Ratchet” of course.)
HIPPA rules prevent me from knowing the last names of care givers that attended to me. There was one while I was on the fourth floor “telemetry unit” who merits a special “thank you”. Nurse Christina not only stopped in at the beginning of her twelve hour shift, she also said good-bye when her day was complete. This was even at times when I was not her patient for that particular day. May God bless you young lady and may He allow all your dreams and ambitions to be fulfilled. My family and I will never forget you.

Finally there is the North Hampton Parents Active in Learning and the residents of Grandview Terrace. Resident like the Sullivan’s, the Dionne’s ,the Malonys, the Hills, the Nigros and about a dozen others who not only provided food for my family but also made sure all of my daughters dentist and orthodontist appointments where kept. You people are the reason we live in this community.


God bless you all.

Criminally insane

---by Dave Buhlman

When I first read the headline, "New policy governs criminally insane" (The Telegraph, 7/26/09), I thought it would be about revised policies regarding how to better supervise the Governor and the Democrat-controlled legislature, due to their penchant for passing significantly increased state budgets and associated tax and fee boosts to support their wild spending sprees. Also included in this group, of course, are the Republican quislings in the legislature who ignored their party's platform, and supported these raids on the often meager finances of innocent taxpayers, also known as their constituents, the ones who voted them into office.

This behavior at the State House is "criminal" because the awesome power of government was used to take money from citizens, using the color of law; and "insane" because the perpetrators are convinced, despite all historical evidence to the contrary, that somehow, someday, somewhere outside of the Land of Oz, ever increasing spending and taxes will finally bring us the bliss promised by those who believe government is the answer to everything. It isn't, it was never intended to be, and it never will be.

But my first impression of the article was wrong. It was about those who committed specific criminal acts while later were adjudged to be insane. Although these acts no doubt delivered some awful pain to a relatively small number of people, when those under the golden dome in Concord engage in their irresponsible behavior, hundreds of thousands are hurt.
